Mardi Gras
Great location. Between the Strand and few other restaurants. Felt different staying in this old style charm mansion. Top floor room getting to be too many stairs for my age.

Great location and host
The only drawback was we did not realize that the garden suite was in the basement. It all turned out well and Brian was a great host. On the plus side the suite was very large.

A lovely place to stay
We really enjoyed our stay here. It was awesome that we were able to bring our dog also. Great location- we loved being able to walk most places. Coffee shops, restaurants, shopping all within walking distance. Beautiful suite and very large which was nice since we stayed a week. We would love to stay again.

Great stay with comfy beds!
We loved the vibe of the house and of our room. The beds were great and the room was comfortable. The location is wonderful, either a short drive or a moderate walk to the Strand and other areas with good food and fun nightlife. We had one concern at check in, but were able to contact the property manager easily and the issue was resolved within 15 minutes. I plan to stay here again, especially if I travel solo since I felt extremely safe.

Beautiful old mansion
The place is very nice for an older mansion. The only downside really is all the stairs. They are a pain to get up and down with luggage. My wife was positive the place was haunted as the hairs on her arms stood on edge as soon as we arrived. Lots of bumps and creaks in the night. We were on the 3rd floor. We enjoyed our time even with the creepy feelings my wife had.

Overall our stay was excellent! Karen was wonderful with friendliness and tips. The only downfall, was we were on the third floor and we are an older couple. The flight of stairs were a challenge with luggage. Not really a walking distance to the Strand.

Might be Haunted
The house is old, almost 200 years old, and it’s still so incredibly beautiful. Our hostess was amazing and gave us the history of the place. My friend and I were set up in the top suite where a brothel Madame would entertain her guests. While we were there, we would joke that it might be haunted, especially since it’s so old. Whether it’s haunted or not, we definitely want to stay here again just for the atmosphere alone.

The Grand Manor
The manor is an absolutely stunning Victorian wonder! It rivals the Bishop Palace and the Moody Mansion. We had the Vanilla Orchid room that has a comfortable king bed and a jet tub. The tub came in handy after bicycling around Galveston. They are not a bed and breakfast so don’t expect breakfast. They do have a mini fridge and a k-cup coffee pot. We loved listening to the owl hoot during the night. It is within 4 blocks of good eating places. We enjoyed our stay.

The Mansion was a great change of pace from the usual stays. The house and my room were beautiful. Location was great. Walked almost everywhere I needed to go. I was on 3rd floor, so the stairs were big exercise at times wanted or not lol . Hope to be back soon.
